A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

"Ziyue! Don't forget to cover for me! Don't let Immortal Master Lin find out too soon!"

"And another thing! If I achieve great success in the future, I will make up for today's regrets! Not only will I take you into the Dragon Nest, but I will also take you into the Forbidden Zone!"

Ji Ziyue paused for a moment, then continued replying to Ye Fan without turning her head:

"Hmph! I don't want to wait until you reach your peak!"

"When you're confident next time, just remember to take me with you."

"gone!"

This time, Ji Ziyue is really gone.

Ye Fan watched Ji Ziyue's retreating figure, first nodding, then shaking his head... Putting all that aside for now, his top priority was to return to Earth!

...Next, under Tu Tian's escort, Ye Fan headed to an ice field in the northern part of the Eastern Wilderness.

With the approximate coordinates Lin Xiu had given him and the skills he learned from the Origin Book, Ye Fan quickly located the Myriad Dragon Nest.

The Dragon Nest is located beneath a vast ice plain in the northern part of the Eastern Wilderness.

Deep within the belly of a snow-capped mountain where the ice plains are located, there is a large cave resembling a magic well that leads directly to the underground. Passing through this magic well will lead you to the Nest of Ten Thousand Dragons.

"We've arrived. This is the Nest of Ten Thousand Dragons."

Ye Fan and Xiao Nannan stood together in front of a pitch-black magic well. Looking down from the well, they couldn't see anything, only sensed wisps of dragon energy surging up from the bottom.

"Big brother, are we going to jump down?" Little Nannan tugged at Ye Fan's clothes and whispered.

"Don't be afraid, little girl, your big brother is here~"

Ye Fan patted the little girl's head, took out the Devouring Demon Cover from his Sea of ​​Wheels, and hung it above their heads.

Although this demonic canopy was unremarkable in appearance, the surrounding dragon energy dispersed to both sides as soon as it appeared.

"Senior Tu Tian, ​​I'll trouble you to wait here. If there is any danger, I will inform you through this jade talisman immediately."

Tu Tian nodded: "Yeah, kid Ye, be careful. If you feel something's wrong, get out of here."

"understand!"

Ye Fan nodded, took a deep breath, and jumped down with the little girl in his arms.

After passing through the seal of the Demon Well, Ye Fan and Xiao Nannan finally entered the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.

.......

Deep within the Dragon Nest, the dragon's energy surged and roared like a mighty river.

Ye Fan held the little girl's hand and followed the coordinates Lin Xiu had given him, venturing deeper into the area. The further they went, the denser the dragon energy became, almost solidifying into a tangible mist. With each step, they could feel the oppressive weight that made it hard to breathe.

"Big brother, the smell here is really weird." The little girl rubbed her nose.

"This is dragon energy; inhaling it frequently can strengthen your body."

Ye Fan spoke casually, but he was on edge. He held Xiao Nannan's hand in one hand and gripped the Devouring Demon Cover tightly in the other, ready to unleash it with the Blood of the Ruthless Immortal at any moment.

After passing through the confluence of nine dragon-shaped ancient caves, the two suddenly found themselves in a bright and open space.

Countless dead dragonwood trees piled up into a mountain. In the very center of the dragonwood forest, a giant nest built of dragonwood trees stood silently. The nest was rugged and ancient, with each log so thick that it would take dozens of people to hug it.

"Little girl, stay close to your big brother."

Ye Fan took a deep breath and walked toward the first coordinate marked by Lin Xiu.

It was a hidden dragon cave in the west, its entrance sealed by layers of ancient runes, the light of which emanated a terrifying holy aura.

"Big brother... there seems to be someone inside?" the little girl said, tilting her head.

Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat, and he sighed inwardly at how abnormal the little girl was, able to see people from so far away.

"Little girl, can you take another look at your big brother? Is he an old man with the power of the sun and the moon?"

"What is the power of the moon and the sun?" The little girl frowned deeply.

"It's black and white gas, did you see it on him?"

"Yes! Nannan sees it! This old man does have a strange gas on him!"

"Good! Well done! Come on!"

Ye Fan skillfully handed the little girl a string of candied hawthorns. Then, he took out the Devouring Demon Cap and carefully aligned it with the runes at the entrance of the cave.

"Om~"

The moment the oppressive aura of the Ruthless Emperor's Weapon touched the cave, the runes at the entrance melted away like ice and snow.

Deep within the Dragon Cave, a divine source, more than two square meters in size, floats silently.

Within the divine source, a gaunt old man sat cross-legged. He was draped in tattered animal hides, held a thick bone club in his hand, and was tightly bound by crimson divine chains. The chains almost dug into his flesh, and the ancient runes on them shimmered with an eerie light.

"Is this the demon that Master Lin spoke of?"

Ye Fan swallowed hard. Even through the divine source, he could feel the primal, wild power emanating from the old man.

Regarding this human demon, Lin Xiu had done his homework for him beforehand: the ancient human demon, Dongfang Taiyi, a being that even the Myriad Dragon Nest found troublesome.

The Yin and Yang, which is weak and which is strong, coexist in harmony, and the world is ruled by the emperor. The Eastern Taiyi is such a terrifying being who cultivates both Yin and Yang.

For humans, he was merely a source of ordinary terror; after all, practicing the same Yin and Yang energies would cause him to lose his senses at night.

But for the ancient races, especially the non-humanoid ancient races, he was practically a living ancestor!

Human Demon: Ancient race? What ancient race? I don't see any. I only see kebabs walking around.

The demon remained motionless within the divine source, as if he had long since died, but Ye Fan knew that the old man was alive and well, only his life force had been suppressed by the seal.

"Master Lin said that the human demon was suppressed by the Great Sage of the Myriad Dragon Nest. The reason he was not killed was to obtain the two volumes of the Mother Scripture of the Human Race, Taiyin and Taiyang, from him."

"As the sacred body of the human race, how can we sit idly by and watch the mother scriptures of the human race be leaked?"

"Even if it's leakage, it can only be internal!"

Ye Fan swallowed hard, holding the Devouring Demon Cover in one hand and the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron in the other, carefully putting the divine source that sealed the human and demon into it.

With the divine source entering the cauldron, a huge weight was lifted from Ye Fan's heart.

With the demon present, he was at least temporarily safe within the Dragon Nest.

If any danger arises, playing this card directly, along with his and Tu Tian's imperial weapons, would be enough to turn the Myriad Dragon Nest upside down!

"I believe that Senior Human Demon will be very interested in wielding the Devouring Demon Canopy and using an imperial weapon to suppress the ancient clan's Great Sage who sealed him! ...At that time, I might even be able to get a bite of dragon meat."

"However, if possible, we should try to release people during the day. Releasing them at night when they are not in a good mental state is also a risk for me."

......

Before long, Ye Fan and Xiao Nannan left the dragon cave where the human and demon were located and headed towards the second coordinate.

This time the route was more convoluted, but Ye Fan was much more confident than before.

Holding a nuclear bomb in his hand, that's how confident he is.

The two traversed seven or eight side paths and bypassed several restrictions that exuded a terrifying aura. Little Nannan walked with ease, passing directly through any restrictions she encountered, while Ye Fan had to rely on his Devouring Demon Cover to withstand them.

Fortunately, the ruthless man's skull was very hard, and Ye Fan's Heavenly Emperor destiny was also very powerful, so they finally arrived at their destination safely.

"arrive."

Ye Fan stopped and looked at the scene before him, his pupils slightly contracting.

Before them lay a vast dragon's lair, its dragon energy so dense it transformed into golden rain of light.

In the very center of the dragon's lair, four vermilion ancient coffins stood in a row. Each coffin exuded a completely different aura, each more terrifying and chilling than the last.

The little girl looked at the four ancient coffins, and her big eyes suddenly filled with tears.

"Big brother, Nannan... Nannan feels so sad."

Ye Fan held Xiao Nannan's hand tightly. He knew that these four ancient coffins were related to the Ruthless Great Emperor, and Xiao Nannan's Dao Fruit would naturally react to them.

"Sweetie, we'll just grab something and leave. We won't be here for long."

Ye Fan first tried to communicate with the first three coffins using his powerful artifacts, and found that they were indeed empty, just as Lin Xiu had said. Helpless, he could only look at the fourth ancient coffin located in the center of the chaos.

It was a dark, enormous coffin that was being tossed about by the raging waves of chaos. Like the previous three coffins, it had no lid and simply sat there quietly.

Ye Fan took a deep breath and, as before, summoned the Ruthless Man Ring, Little Nannan's Tear Crystal, and the Devouring Demon Cover. The three streams of energy from the same source converged and surged towards the fourth ancient coffin.

The next second, the ancient coffin trembled slightly, and a stream of light flew out of the coffin, shooting straight towards Ye Fan.

Ye Fan subconsciously reached out and took it, only to find that it was a scroll.

The scroll, made of neither leather nor paper, seemed to be cast from starlight, and was decorated with countless patterns of stars and mountains. Mysterious lines flowed across the scroll, faintly pointing towards a certain direction deep within the starry sky.

"Is this the map that Master Lin mentioned, the one that records many ancient life-bearing planets?"

"With this, I can get Elder Wei to help me get back to Earth!"

Ye Fan was overjoyed and skillfully threw the Immortal Treasure Map into his Sea of ​​Wheels.

.......

However, just as he put away the Immortal Treasure Map, a touch of gold beside the ancient coffin caught his attention.

Upon closer inspection, Ye Fan saw a small tree that was entirely golden in color. Its trunk was only as thick as a thumb, but it was coiled into the shape of a dragon. A fruit that looked like a dragon pearl hung from a branch. It was crystal clear and emitted an enticing fragrance.

"This is... the True Dragon Immortality Elixir!"

Ye Fan's breath hitched. He had thought the elixir of immortality should be rooted in the deepest part of the dragon's lair, but he never expected it to be right next to the coffin of the Ruthless Great Emperor.

That makes sense, though. On one hand, while Lin Xiu didn't give the exact coordinates of the True Dragon Immortal Elixir, he did provide several likely locations, one of which was near the ruthless man's coffin.

On the other hand, the elixir of immortality only follows the Great Emperor, and it is quite normal for it to take root next to the Emperor's coffin, which is rich in chaotic dragon energy, after the Great Emperor's death.

The True Dragon Immortal Medicine seemed to sense Ye Fan's gaze. Its dragon-shaped trunk twisted slightly and silently moved five centimeters to the side, as if it would burst open if Ye Fan made any rash move.

Ye Fan swallowed hard, temporarily abandoning his plan to intervene, and turned to look at the little girl:

"Daughter, do you see that little golden tree? That's the elixir of immortality that your big brother told you about."

The little girl wiped away her tears and looked over curiously.

The moment the True Dragon Immortal Elixir saw the little girl, its entire plant trembled, and the Dragon Pearl Fruit swayed gently, as if nodding to the little girl.

"Big brother, it seems to recognize Nannan?" Little Nannan tilted her head.

Ye Fan's heart stirred. The True Dragon Immortal Elixir had followed the Ruthless Great Emperor for many years, and Little Nannan was the Ruthless Great Emperor's Dao Fruit. It was normal for the True Dragon Immortal Elixir to know Little Nannan.
